The Carroll Tigers have the same ultimate goal as they always do: reaching the state tournament in Round Rock. However this year they're going to have do it with a new man at the helm: former assistant coach Mike Leal.
Carroll (#8-6A) has several returning starters in the lineup, but must replace their starting pitching rotation with the graduation of Isaiah Lybarger and Rene Pineda. Carroll has been dwelling on their final game of 2014 all offseason, a one-game playoff loss to Eagle Pass in the region semifinals.
The Tigers open their season Tuesday, February 24th at Whataburger Field against fellow state-ranked team Victoria East (#9-5A).
